The inhabitants of the city on the banks of the Cher were able to see the opening of various shops in the city center during the month of November.
The Atelier des Réaux, rue Saint-Roch
It is now in the back of her shop, located at 6 bis, rue Saint-Roch in Montluçon, that Sophie Lobregat-Beillonnet brings to life a multitude of creations. Bags, belts, purses, bookmarks, glasses holders, checkbook holders, but also bow ties, shoes, jewels, key rings, magazine holders or coasters. All in leather.

“The advantage now that people come into the shop is that they can see me work directly”, rejoices the artisan who has moved to the new location since November 12th. A new step for the Montluçonnaise after the creation of his company just under two years ago.
“L’Atelier des Réaux was born in an outbuilding, at my house, in Réaux. “A professional retraining for Sophie Lobregat-Beillonnet who had to train and then go back to school to pass a CAP. But this new path has finally been blazed for Bourbonnaise.
“This job was already what I wanted to do when I was 16. But at that time we didn’t value manual labor much. It was the decline of the craft at that time, so I took a secretarial course. »

An O2 agency, rue Bretonnie
An O2 agency has been set up at 14 rue Bretonnie since 21 November. It offers cleaning, ironing and babysitting services for children over 3 years old. “We do not currently provide elder support or childcare for children under 3 years old. Because it takes several months of activity before obtaining the approvals», explains Amélie Reis, head of the agency, which hopes to obtain them in 2023.
The agency, which covers the southern sector of Montluçon (the city center of Montluçon and the south of the Cher for about forty kilometers), wishes to hire ten to twenty people (domestic workers and people wishing to do childcare ) by the end of 2023, with permanent contracts.
“I’m in full development, so I’m currently recruiting,” explains Amélie Reis who was a recruitment consultant for several years before being manager of Le Cul d’chouette bar in Montluçon for almost a year. “Service to people is a new challenge for me. There’s this human side, the relationship… I like the idea of being able to help someone on a daily basis. »
